Great thoughts from a great dude. Gary Lamb says some things about leaders that I need, we need to hear. We MUST empower people to do what God has gifted them to do! Ministry is good....

Start of the week

Mondays are the day where I am beat down tired. Today was different. After being on the road so much, I was ready to get back into the routine. We shuffled a few things off my plate and today was the first day with those things changed. Long term it is going to be awesome, but it is a weird feeling not having my hand in everything.

There were a couple of times I was walking around the office and I was hearing conversations taking place about ministry and I wanted to jump right in and give my 2 cents, but I didn't. We have a great team and they are in place because they can do their jobs better than I can, I just have to let them. :)

The last hour of the day we had a young guy (man, that made me sound old) from town stop in. I've known the guy since we started Revolution though he has never been a part of our church. He recently feels God is leading him into the pastoral area of ministry and he could possibly have a very cool door open for him. I enjoyed talking to him and it got me pumped up seeing the desire he has to see a move of God.

I also enjoyed hearing his outsider perspective on Revolution. He lives in our community, has been to Revolution and works at another church in the county so I valued his insights. He said some things that really made me think and said some things that just amazed me at how different the culture is in our two churches. It was a good meeting.

I have a great feeling about what God is doing at Revolution right now not only on Sunday mornings, but through our staff and me personally. It is a fun and exciting time to be part of God's work.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
